Ingredients

• 1 whole Cantaloupe
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 6 leaves Fresh Mint Leaves
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 1 whole Lime
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Cut the cantaloupe into thick wedges, about 1 inch wide, and remove the seeds and rind.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil and a pinch of salt. Brush the mixture lightly onto both sides of each cantaloupe wedge.

Step 3

Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Ensure it's clean and lightly greased to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Place the cantaloupe wedges on the hot grill. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until grill marks appear and the cantaloupe becomes slightly caramelized. Avoid overcooking to prevent it from turning mushy.

Step 5

While the cantaloupe is grilling, finely chop the mint leaves and set them aside.

Step 6

Once the cantaloupe is grilled, transfer the wedges to a serving platter.

Step 7

Drizzle the honey evenly over the grilled cantaloupe wedges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the chopped mint leaves on top for a pop of freshness.

Step 9

Cut the lime in half and squeeze a light drizzle of lime juice over the dish to enhance the flavors.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature as a refreshing side or a simple dessert.
